As the Deputy may be aware, it is my intention to publish an Annual Options Paper outlining measures to help reduce the cost of education for students and families across Further and Higher Education, Research and Apprenticeships. The paper will also provide an overview of ongoing work in relation to Student Accommodation.

This paper will set out various options for further enhancement of student supports for consideration as part of the budgetary process in the Autumn.
